She later revealed that the woman her husband had been texting was a swinger and had been encouraged by her husband.

The woman received a flood of responses with many questioning how she could believe that he hadn't done more than text.

One person wrote: 'He's been cheating on you for four years and you don't think it's worth giving up on your marriage for?'

Others also shared that they considered sexting the same as having an affair and believed it could have an affect on their child in the future.

Reality check: Some users attempted to convince the woman that her husband had likely met up with the woman he had been texting

Others responded to the thread asking why she would put up with his behaviour even if nothing physical came from the texts.

One person said: 'Think about it, while you thought you were going through possibly the most happy, loving, bonding experience of pregnancy/ buying buggies and snuggly sleeping bags.

'Or perhaps you were frightened and vulnerable. Either way this incredible roller coaster of emotions and your dearest husband was 'just' thinking about another woman'.

Another person wrote: 'Moving past this is a green light'.

Determined: Despite users suggesting sexting should be treated as an affair the woman insisted she wanted to work on her marriage

Others tried to convince the woman her husband wasn't telling the complete truth and that she should try to hear the other side of his story.

One user wrote: 'Oh so why is it that she threatened to tell you? If it was mere titillation, if her husband is aware about it and encouraged it, if nothing else happened. I would want to speak to her because I suspect he hasn't told you everything'.

Another said: 'For starters I wouldn't believe it's 20 texts, unless he's the sort of person that takes 6 months to reply. It sounds like he's trying to dumb it down so it's 'not as bad'. What other contact does he have with this woman?'

Others questioned why the woman didn't ask for other side of her husband's story
